4 4/98 Ohio Board of Regents Two-Year Campus Mission Page The Two-Year Campus Mission Viewed from the perspective of statewide planning and coordination, the Ohio Board of Regents recognizes a two-year campus mission which includes the following components: Pre-baccalaureate/transfer education. Equivalent to the lower division or first two years of a baccalaureate degree program, generally consisting of liberal arts, sciences, and preprofessional studies designed either to enable students to transfer to a four-year institution for the completion of a baccalaureate degree or to provide a planned program of general education which is equivalent to that which is provided by four-year institutions at the freshman and sophomore levels. Career/technical education. Associate degree programs of up to two years duration, designed to prepare students for careers which are generally at the semiprofessional level. Technical degree programs are frequently transferable into baccalaureate degree programs. Adult continuing education. Noncredit programs, courses, short courses, seminars, and other professional development and cultural enrichment opportunities offered to residents of the service district. Community service. Activities of an educational nature which may include workshops, seminars, forums, cultural events, and provision of campus facilities and consultative services, designed to address community needs or to resolve community problems. Workforce skills enhancement. Activities designed to educate, train, or upgrade skills of employees in business, government, industry, and public service agencies. These programs may consist of credit courses, noncredit courses, and/or workshops to help employers hire smart, train smart, and promote smart. Developmental education. Courses and services emphasizing academic skill development in preparation for college-level course work. Developmental education program components enhance access for underprepared students through the provision of both course work and supplemental services, such as tutoring, course placement assessment, advising, study skills, and personal development.

5 Ohio Board of Regents Definitions 4/98 Page Definitions of Two-Year Campuses The two-year campus system which has evolved in Ohio includes a variety of organizational forms characterized by differing administrative structures and patterns of governance. The Ohio Board of Regents defines the various types of two-year campuses as follows: Community College A community college is a two-year college which may be established at the initiative of one or more county governments, or by a referendum vote, with the approval of the Board of Regents. A board of trustees governs the college and all members must reside in the district. Six board members are appointed locally and three are appointed by the Governor. The college district is empowered and is strongly urged to secure a local property tax levy for operation much as a city, exempted village, or local board of education may do in operating elementary and secondary schools. Because the college can receive local tax support as well as state support, most community colleges are able to keep student fees lower than can other kind of two-year campuses. Community colleges offer pre-baccalaureate/transfer degree programs, career/technical education programs, developmental education, workforce training, adult continuing education, and community service activities. All community colleges are members of the EnterpriseOhio network. (Reference: Ohio Revised Code 3354.) State Community College A state community college is a two-year college which may be established with the approval of the Board of Regents at the initiative of a technical college, a state university operating a regional campus in a district, one or more county governments, or the electorate of a district. The college is governed by a local board of trustees, with all nine members being appointed by the Governor.

6 Ohio Board of Regents Definitions 4/98 Page Ohio's state community colleges have no legal power to propose a local tax levy and must, therefore, operate without the advantages of local financing. A state community college offers pre-baccalaureate/transfer degree programs, career/technical degrees, developmental education, workforce training, adult continuing education, and community service activities. All state community colleges are members of the EnterpriseOhio network. (Reference: Ohio Revised Code 3358.) Technical College A technical college is a two-year college which may be established with approval of the Board of Regents upon the initiative of a city school district or a county, or by two or more contiguous city, county, local, or exempted village school districts or counties. Once established, however, the technical college district becomes an independent political subdivision governed by a board of trustees. The board shall have either five or six board members appointed locally and two or three appointed by the Governor. Technical colleges receive support from the state and student fees. Current law provides that technical colleges may propose property tax levies to local electorates. Technical colleges specialize in offering career/technical education programs, adult continuing education programs, community service activities, workforce skills enhancement, and developmental education. Technical degree programs are frequently transferable into baccalaureate degree programs. Additionally, many of them may be articulated with four-year institutions for the completion of baccalaureate degrees. Further, technical colleges participate in the state approved transfer module. All technical colleges are members of the EnterpriseOhio network. In a single instance, that of the Agricultural Technical Institute at Wooster, an academic unit within Ohio State University has been established under the general authority of the University board of trustees to function in a manner similar to other technical colleges and institutes insofar as technical programs in agricultural and natural sciences are concerned. (Reference: Ohio Revised Code 3357.)

7 4/98 University Regional Campus Ohio Board of Regents Definitions/ Recommendations Page A university regional campus consists of a permanent full-time separate facility established with the approval of the Board of Regents, governed by the university board of trustees, and offering two-year pre-baccalaureate/transfer programs (including all courses offered to serve lower division students), adult continuing education, community service, workforce skills enhancement, developmental education, and in some instances, technical education. The Board of Regents recommends the award of the appropriate associate degree for satisfactory completion of a two-year degree program, either transfer or career/ technical. All regional campuses are members of the EnterpriseOhio network. Current law permits the establishment of a university regional campus district with a board of trustees of seven members who are residents of the district, with powers enumerated in Section of the Ohio Revised Code. (Reference: Ohio Revised Code 3355.) University Urban Center A university urban center is a two-year college set up by an urban-based university, either on its main campus or elsewhere in the home city, for the purpose of giving special attention to the first two years of education beyond the high school. The college is an integral part of the parent university, and is governed and financed as a regular part of the university. The college may offer pre-baccalaureate/transfer degree programs, career/ technical degrees, adult continuing education, community service activities, workforce skills enhancement, developmental education, and selected baccalaureate degree programs.

8 4/98 Ohio Board of Regents Definitions Page University Residence Credit Center (Not a two-year campus, but generally operating in the same facility) A university residence credit center offers instruction in baccalaureate courses (arts and sciences, teacher education, and business administration) beyond the associate degree level, and for the purpose of meeting special needs of groups of students who are beyond sophomore standing. Courses offered in an associate degree program are intended to serve freshman and sophomore students in the regular program of a regional campus and shall not be considered as residence credit center courses. A residence credit center may also offer courses at the master's degree level in arts and sciences and in professional fields of study. Except in unusual circumstances, the Board of Regents expects that only a university regional campus or other permanent two-year campus will be designated as a residence credit center. Courses offered at a residence center must count toward award of the appropriate baccalaureate or master's degree by the parent university and be approved in advance on a time-specific and site-specific basis by the Ohio Board of Regents. Baccalaureate and master's degree courses will be taught only by persons holding faculty rank in a baccalaureate college or in the graduate school of the parent university. It is expected that the parent university will take whatever action is needed to ensure that instruction in residence credit center courses meets university home campus standards as well as accreditation standards. State subsidies for university residence credit centers will be in baccalaureate general programs and in master's degree programs. Enrollments in resident credit centers should be reported separately from home campus enrollments, and limit enrollment limitenrollment limitations imposed by law or other action upon a home campus enrollments, and enrollment limitations imposed by law or other action upon a home campus will not be considered as applying to residence credit center enrollment.

9 4/98 Associate of Arts/Associate of Science Ohio Board of Regents Programs / Associate of Arts / Sciences Page Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degree programs provide the first two years of a baccalaureate degree for students planning to transfer to a four-year institution. Each degree requires successful completion of a minimum of ninety quarter (or sixty semester) credit hours. Curricular standards for degrees are set forth in Rule (Appendix A) (1) Associate of Arts: For students wishing to complete the first two years of a Bachelor of Arts degree, as well as those desiring two years of a liberal arts/ general education with emphasis in the Arts, Social Sciences or Humanities, the following minimum degree requirements should be met: Quarter Semester English Composition 9 6 credits and Literature Social and Behavioral Sciences credits Arts and Humanities credits Sciences and Mathematics credits Total Minimum Requirements credits (2) Associate of Science: For students wishing to complete the first two years of a Bachelor of Science degree, as well as those desiring two years of a liberal arts / general education with emphasis in Natural Science and Mathematics, the following minimum degree requirements should be met: Quarter Semester English Composition 9 6 credits and Literature Social and Behavioral Sciences credits Arts and Humanities credits Sciences and Mathematics credits Total Minimum Requirements The Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree shall not be used to deliver programs in technical education. See Section 402 of this manual for degree program approval procedures.

10 4/98 Ohio Board of Regents Programs / Associate of Applied Science/Business Page Associate of Applied Business/Associate of Applied Science These degrees are awarded in recognition of successful completion of career/technical education programs which require a minimum of ninety quarter (or sixty semester) credit hours. Technical programs of study prepare students for immediate employment upon graduation. Curricular standards for degrees are set forth in Rule (Appendix A) Graduates of these programs who aspire to extend their studies to other baccalaureate programs may need a substantial amount of advanced lower division coursework. Approximately one-half of each associate of applied science or associate of applied business curriculum is devoted to non-technical studies. This includes both general studies courses and those that serve as a base to the technical field. In the absence of specific articulation agreements, the technical courses contained in the degree programs will generally be reviewed on an individual basis by the receiving four-year institution. The Board of Regents has adopted the federal Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code classification for its taxonomy of technical program titles which are used to classify all Associate of Applied Business and Associate of Applied Science degrees. A proposed technical program is expected to meet the following criteria in addition to complying with curricular standards contained in Rule (Appendix A): (1) Employment of at least one full-time faculty member to give leadership to the program; (2) A minimum projected enrollment of fifteen first-year students; (3) A minimum projected enrollment of twelve second-year students; (4) A minimum of eight students expected to graduate by the end of the fourth year of the program's operation; and (5) A minimum projected average placement of 75% of its graduates who are available for employment in jobs which are related to the technology.

11 4/98 Ohio Board of Regents Programs / Associate of Applied Business / Science Page Exceptions to the above criteria may be made for programs (1) subject to standards set by an accrediting or licensing agency which make meeting these criteria physically or financially impossible, or (2) designed primarily to serve an in-service educational function, and are so designated by the staff of the Board of Regents. See Section 402 for degree program approval procedures. Technical Majors Campuses may offer technical majors under any approved Associate of Applied Science or Associate of Applied Business degree program. Technical majors should consist of eighteen to twenty-four quarter (or twelve to sixteen semester) credit hours and constitute an area of specialization. Refer to Section of this manual for approval procedures for technical majors. Technical Electives Technical electives offer students greater flexibility in completing degree requirements. Technical electives identified for each degree program should be recorded on the appropriate form (404.02), attached to the "Curriculum Summary" form (402.08), and then submitted to Regents' staff.

12 4/98 Ohio Board of Regents Programs / Associate of Applied Science/Business Page One-Year (1+1) Program One-year (1+1) programs generally involve the first year of an associate degree program. Students who complete such programs generally receive certificates for the completion of forty-five to fifty-five quarter (or thirty to thirty-seven semester) credit hours of coursework, of which no less than twenty-seven quarter (or eighteen semester) and no more than thirty-three quarter (or twenty-two semester) credit hours are earned through technical courses. Students who complete the first year of a one-year (1+1) program should be able to complete an associate degree at a collaborating institution with which an articulation agreement has been formulated. Such an arrangement should assure that students will be admitted to the second-year level with no loss of credit, and that full-time students will be able to complete an appropriate associate degree in no more than one year. See Section 405 of this manual for one-year (1+1) program approval procedures.

13 4/98 Ohio Board of Regents Technical Certificates / One-year Short-term Page One-Year Technical Certificates Students completing a one-year technical certificate program should be able to complete an associate degree at either their home campus, or at another two-year campus within commuting distance. Students generally receive certificates for the completion of fortyfive to fifty-five quarter (or thirty to thirty-seven semester) credit hours of coursework, of which no less than twenty-seven quarter (or eighteen semester) and no more than thirtythree quarter (or twenty-two semester) credit hours are technical courses. A one-year technical certificate requires notification to the Board of Regents staff. This information should include the title of the certificate and a completed "Curriculum Summary" form. Short-Term Technical Certificates Campuses may offer short-term technical certificate programs which consist of fewer than forty-five quarter (or thirty semester) credit hours. The certificate is to be designed for a specific employment situation. Students successfully completing the prescribed course of study should receive certificates of completion.

14 Ohio Board of Regents Programs / Associate of Technical Study 4/98 Associate of Technical Study Page The Associate of Technical Study is awarded for successful completion of a minimum of ninety quarter (or sixty) credit hours of an individually planned technical education program designed to respond to needs for specialized technical education not currently available in the formal degree programs available on a particular campus. As with all technical associate degree programs, the program leading to an Associate of Technical Study must have an area of concentration which is equivalent to forty-five quarter (or thirty semester) credit hours in technical studies and clearly identifiable with a career objective. The area of concentration can be formed either by: Type A: Type B: a coherent combination of technical courses selectively drawn from two or more technical programs currently offered by the awarding institution to serve a career objective which would not be adequately addressed by one of those existing programs; or courses completed or training received by a student at other institutions of higher education, vocational centers, or other educational enterprises judged by the institution to be of college level and for which the institution awards degree credit, to a maximum of forty-five quarter (or thirty semester) credit hours, prior to the declaration of candidacy for the degree. The actual degree awarded must contain the name of the students area of concentration, e.g., Associate of Technical Study in Diesel Technology. Extensive individualized academic advisement may be necessary for the planning of such programs, and each candidate for this degree must complete an Associate of Technical Study application which identifies the area of concentration and designates courses to be taken to complete the degree. Such a plan will generally be completed prior to the student s having earned sixty quarter (or forty semester) credit hours at the awarding institution. Plans submitted after sixty or more quarter (or forty semester) credit hours are completed must be approved by the Chief Instructional Officer.

15 Ohio Board of Regents Programs / Associate of Technical Study 4/98 Page Graduates of ATS programs who wish to extend their studies to baccalaureate-level programs may need to complete a substantial amount of lower division coursework at the transfer institution. Students satisfactorily completing this degree must assume that fouryear institutions may evaluate their credits on a course-by-course basis. See Section 402 of this manual for degree approval procedures.

16 4/98 Associate of Individualized Study Ohio Board of Regents Programs / Associate of of Individualized Study Page This degree is awarded for the satisfactory completion of a minimum of ninety quarter (or sixty semester) credit hours in an individually planned program designed to serve an educational objective which could not be served through another degree program of the awarding institution. The curriculum is to be designed largely by the student with the assistance of a designated faculty advisor. The program leading to this degree must contain an area of concentration consisting of a minimum of thirty quarter (or twenty semester) credit hours which is formed according to one of the following models: (a) (b) (c) an intra-institutional, interdisciplinary, but coherent combination of courses drawn from a minimum of two and a maximum of four instructional areas of the awarding institution; up to sixty quarter (or forty semester) credit hours awarded by the institution for documentable educational experiences or courses completed at other institutions of higher education, or educational enterprises judged by the institution to be of college level; an unusual but academically coherent combination of technical and general studies courses. Prior to completing sixty quarter (or forty semester) credit hours, each candidate for this degree should complete an Associate of Individualized Study application form outlining an intended area of concentration and designating course areas for further study to culminate this plan. Plans submitted after sixty or more quarter (or forty semester) credit hours are completed must be approved by the Chief Instructional Officer. Following approval of the application, each candidate will be required to complete no less than thirty quarter (or twenty semester) credit hours of coursework under the supervision of the institution granting the degree, at least half of which shall be in the area of concentration. See Section 402 of this manual for degree approval procedures.

17 4/98 Transfer Module What is the Transfer Module? Ohio Board of Regents Transfer Module Page The transfer module (TM) is a set or subset of the general education requirements of a college. The TM consists of quarter hours or semester hours of specific course credits in English composition, mathematics, arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, natural or physical sciences, and interdisciplinary coursework. The TM was developed to assist movement of students from one Ohio public college or university to another and to avoid duplication of course requirements for transfer students. How does it work? Students who successfully complete the Transfer Module at one college will have met the TM requirements of the college or university to which they transfer. Students may be required to meet additional general education requirements that are not included in the TM, as long as those requirements are identical to those of native students. All other institutional admissions criteria being equal (i.e. grade point average or other institutional criteria) preferential admission will be given to a transfer student with the AA or AS degree and the TM, or to a transfer student who has not received a degree but has completed 60 semester/ 90 quarter hours and the TM and has earned at least 2.00 GPA. Such a student will receive priority admission over transfer students without the above credentials. Goals of Ohio s Articulation and Transfer Policy - To facilitate the transfer of students and credits from one college or university to another. - To encourage recognition of comparable and compatible learning experiences in the first two years of a student s collegiate education.

18 4/98 Ohio Board of Regents Transfer Module Page To encourage the completion of the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degrees prior to transferring. - To ensure that students transferring into college and universities receive the same and/or priority consideration with regard to course applicability and program completion as non-transfer students. - To outline a statewide process to ensure implementation and continual review of the Articulation and Transfer Policy.

19 Ohio Board of Regents 4/98 Proposals for New Associate Degree Programs Preliminary Approval/ Associate Degrees Page The following procedures should be followed by state-assisted colleges and universities seeking Board of Regents approval for a new associate degree or degree program. Preliminary Proposal Submission (1) Any state-assisted college or university desiring to introduce a new degree or new degree program should obtain preliminary approval by presenting the request to the Ohio Board of Regents staff. The request should indicate: (a) (b) (c) (d) the reasons for considering such a program, the number of students expected to enroll, the availability of similar programs offered by other institutions (public, private, or proprietary) within a thirty mile radius of the requesting institution, and preliminary cost estimates. The format for submitting a request for preliminary approval can be found on Pages and of this manual. (2) After reviewing the preliminary proposal, the Regents staff will inform the requesting institution of the action which has been taken on the request. (a) Preliminary approval granted: The institution may proceed with the process of formal proposal developments as outlined in the following pages. Preliminary approval will be withdrawn if a formal proposal for Board of Regents consideration has not been submitted within two years of the date preliminary approval was granted.

20 4/98 Ohio Board of Regents Preliminary Approval/ Associate Degrees Page (b) Preliminary approval denied: This action would be taken if it is the judgment of the Regents that no additional programs of that type are needed in the state, that the program would duplicate existing programs unnecessarily, or for other sufficient cause as specified at the time such action is taken.

23 4/98 Ohio Board of Regents Formal Approval/ Associate Degrees Page Formal Proposal Development Institutions have found the following procedures to be useful in the development of career/technical associate degree program proposals: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) (j) (k) Form a local advisory committee, comprised of individuals not employed by the institution who either earn their living doing what the program would prepare students to do, or would be the most likely employers of such individuals. If the institution and the advisory committee deem it desirable, engage a consultant. Determine the goals of the program. Conduct a local needs survey, assessing the potential job opportunities for graduates of the program. Consult with other institutions (public, private, or proprietary) within a thirty mile radius to determine whether the program would duplicate an offering currently available in the area. If the program is offered elsewhere in the State, consult with another campus which offers the program. Determine curricular objectives. Develop curriculum. Project costs and physical facility factors. Obtain internal approvals. Prepare formal proposal for submission to the Board of Regents.

24 4/98 Ohio Board of Regents Formal Approval/ Associate Degrees Page Formal Proposal Submission (1) Formal proposals for new degree programs should be presented to the Ohio Board of Regents for consideration after all internal clearances or approvals have been provided, including approval by the board of trustees of the institution, when appropriate. The format in Section of this manual should be followed. Five copies of the proposal for a new degree or a new degree program should be submitted. (2) The proposal will be reviewed by Regents staff. The staff may refer the proposal to an advisory committee for evaluation of need and program outcomes. (3) In approving career/technical degree programs, the Ohio Board of Regents will consider need for the program on a statewide basis. On the basis of this statewide consideration, the Board may determine that several programs of a particular type are needed in a specific section of the state. Similarly, the Board s study may reveal that the number of programs in a particular technology should be limited for a period of time. (4) The Regents staff will present a recommendation to the Chancellor for approval or disapproval of each proposal received by the Board. The interested institution shall be given an opportunity to present a statement of position at the same time. (5) The Ohio Board of Regents will consider the approval or disapproval of each formal proposal at an official and regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. (6) Technical programs may be approved for a designated period of time.

42 4/98 Ohio Board of Regents Approval One-Year Programs Page Approval of One-Year Programs (1+1) The first year of a one-year (1+1) program is the first half of a two-year associate degree program. Campuses seeking to initiate new one-year (1+1) programs should request approval in the manner described in Section 402 of this Manual. The proposal should also include the name of the institution offering the second year of the associate degree, along with a letter from the collaborating institution assuring that students will be admitted with no loss of credit.

43 Ohio Board of Regents Academic Credit 12/97 Page Standard Definitions of Instructional Arrangements and Guidelines for the Awarding of Academic Credit The number of credits which should be awarded for the completion of courses in associate degree programs is determined by the instructional arrangements as follows: (1) Classroom hour: A classroom hour is a nominal hour (fifty minutes) of formalized instruction, conducted on- or off-campus, in which the teacher presents an educational experience to students, applying any combination of instructional methods. This definition is applicable only when the course organization requires that the instructor bear the primary responsibility for the instructional activity and is directly involved with all students in the class. Students will be expected to work at out-of-class assignments on a regular basis which, over the length of the course, would normally average two hours of out-of-class study for each hour of formal class activity. This out-of-class study shall not be counted as part of the classroom hour for credit purposes. One credit (quarter or semester) shall be awarded for each classroom hour which is scheduled in the standard week of the quarter or semester. (2) Laboratory hour: A laboratory hour is fifty minutes of educational activity with students conducting experiments, perfecting skills, or practicing procedures under the direction of a faculty member. One credit (quarter or semester) shall be awarded for a minimum of three laboratory hours in a standard week for which little or no out-of-class study is required. One credit (quarter or semester) shall be awarded for a minimum of two laboratory hours in a standard week, if supplemented by out-of-class assignments which would normally average one hour of out-ofclass study preparing for or following-up the laboratory experience.

44 Ohio Board of Regents Academic Credit 12/97 Page (3) Clinical laboratory hour: A clinical laboratory hour applies only to health technology programs. A clinical laboratory consists of a fiftyminute period during which students are assigned to laboratory sections which meet at a health-related agency rather than in oncampus laboratory facilities. Clinical laboratory sessions provide a realistic environment for student learning. These laboratory hours should be directly supervised by regular faculty members, full-time or part-time, of the college. Credit hours for the clinical laboratory experience will be awarded on the same basis as laboratory hours. (4) Directed practice hour: This definition applies primarily to programs in the health technologies. A directed practice hour consists of a sixty-minute period during which the student is assigned to practice experiences under constant supervision at an external agency. The student should receive individual instruction and critique in the performance of a particular function. Adjunct faculty, who may or may not be paid by the college, may be used for the direct supervision of students, and for the delivery of part of the didactic phase of the experience. The faculty member coordinating the directed practice conducts at least one lecture session each week for participating students, provides the final grade for each student, and visits students at least once a week. One credit (quarter or semester) shall be awarded for a minimum of five clock hours of directed practice in a week.

45 Ohio Board of Regents Academic Credit 12/97 Page (5) Practicum hour: A practicum hour is an on- or off-campus work experience, integrated with academic instruction. Students concurrently apply theoretical concepts to practical situations within an occupational field. To assure proper coordination of the experience, the practicum is coordinated by a faculty member who visits the student at least once biweekly, provides the final grade, and teaches at least one course on the campus. Each student who is enrolled in a practicum shall also be enrolled in an on-campus seminar. One credit (quarter or semester) shall be awarded for a minimum of seven clock hours per week in a practicum. A maximum of thirteen quarter (or nine semester) credit hours may be earned in practicum, or any combination of practicum cooperative work experience, over the associate degree program. (6) Cooperative work experience: A cooperative work experience is onor off-campus paid employment. It augments formal classroom classroom instruction. The experience is coordinated by a faculty member of the college who visits the job site for a conference with the student and supervisor at least once during the quarter or semester, and assigns the course grade to the student after appropriate consultation with the supervisor/employer. Each student who is enrolled in cooperative work experience shall also enroll in an on-campus seminar. One credit (quarter or semester) shall be awarded for a minimum of ten clock hours of cooperative work experience which is scheduled during a week. A maximum of thirteen quarter (or nine semester) credit hours may be earned in cooperative work experience, or any combination of cooperative work experience and practicum, over the associate degree program.

46 Ohio Board of Regents Academic Credit 12/97 Page (7) Field experience: Field experience is planned, paid work activity which relates to an individual student's occupational objectives. With permission of a faculty advisor, the field experience replaces elective or required courses in a student's associate degree program. The experience is coordinated by a faculty member of the college who assists the student in planning the experience, visits the site of the experience for a conference with the student and his/her supervisor at least once during the quarter or semester and assigns the course grade to the student after appropriate consultation with the employer/supervisor. One credit (quarter or semester) shall be awarded for a minimum of twelve clock hours of field experience which is scheduled during a week. A maximum of thirteen quarter (or nine semester) credit hours may be earned in field experience, or in any combination of field experience, cooperative education experience, and practicum over the associate degree program. (8) Observation hour: An observation hour is an hour during which students participate in an educational experience as observers of practitioners representative of the occupational area. Students may participate at times in the actual work activity. Observation hours are coordinated by faculty members who receive reports from the students of their observational experiences and provide assessments of students' progress toward the achievement of the objectives of the experience. One credit (quarter or semester) shall be awarded for a minimum of fifteen clock hours of observational experience in a week.

47 Ohio Board of Regents Academic Credit 12/97 Page (9) Seminar: A seminar is a less formal educational experience than a classroom/lecture/discussion class. A relatively small number of students engage in discussions directed by a faculty member. Credit is awarded for seminar hours on the same basis as that for the classroom hour discussed above. (10) Miscellaneous applications courses: Courses in this category are those for which extended periods of concentrated practice are required of the student subsequent to sessions of individualized instruction. Courses in applied music and journalism or courses of an independent study nature are examples. Instructors who teach such courses have primary responsibility for assigning the work activity or skills objectives to the student and personally provide whatever instruction is required. In addition, the instructor periodically assesses the student's progress, and assigns the final grade. One credit (quarter or semester) shall be awarded for a minimum of seven scheduled clock hours of such activity per week.

48 12/97 Flexibly Scheduled Courses: Ohio Board of Regents Academic Credit Page A flexibly scheduled course section is defined as any section of an academic course of instruction that does not take place throughout the complete length of a regular academic term (for example, quarter, semester, or summer academic term).

49 Ohio Board of Regents Service Districts 4/98 Service Districts Page Service districts are designated geographical areas for delivery of comprehensive services by Ohio's two-year campuses. Types of Service Districts (1) Chartered counties included within a charter of a community college or a technical college (2) Board of Regents designated counties assigned to a two-year campus for delivery of services Cooperative service districts Several service areas, especially in larger populated areas, have more than one two-year campus and are known as cooperating areas. It is expected that these campuses will reach agreement on programs and services to be offered independently or jointly. Co-terminus service districts The need occasionally arises for institutions with special programs to offer courses/programs in locations outside their approved service areas. In such situations, the college proposing to render services beyond its assigned geographical area is expected to notify the two-year campus located within that particular service district.

60 Appendix A Rule : Standards for the Approval of Associate Degree Programs

61 Appendix A: Rule Ohio Board of Regents Standards for Approval of Associate Degree Programs (A) Authority UTHORITY This Rule is adopted under authority conferred upon the Ohio Board of Regents by Section of the Revised Code. (B) Definitions The definitions developed by the Ohio Board of Regents to implement its legal charge as follows: (1) A new degree is any new appropriate recognition or award for completion of a prescribed degree program in a state-assisted institution of higher education designated by the customary titles of associate, bachelor, master, specialist, or doctor. (2) A new degree program is any prescribed program of study in a stateassisted institution of higher education which constitutes an area of concentration or specialization leading to a designated degree. (3) The two-year associate degrees which are authorized to be awarded by public institutions are defined as follows: (a) The Associate of Arts and the Associate of Science are degrees awarded for successful completion of a planned program of study which is generally equivalent to the first two years of a baccalaureate degree program. Baccalaureate programs in many disciplines require specific lower division course work which must be completed in the freshman and sophomore years if the Associate of Arts degree is to signify a halfway point in the progression toward the baccalaureate degree. The above is in no way intended to relieve the student of the responsibility for completing the programmatic prerequisites and requirements of the baccalaureate program which he intends to follow at a particular four-year institution. 1

62 (b) (c) (d) The Associate of Applied Business and the Associate of Applied Science are degrees which are awarded for the successful completion of a planned program of instruction in a technology, the primary objective of which is the preparation of individuals for paid or unpaid employment in that technology, or for additional preparation for a career requiring other than a baccalaureate or advanced degree. Degree programs offered as technical education include two-year curricula in Engineering and Industrial Technologies, Business Technologies, Agricultural and Natural Resource Technologies, Health Technologies, and Public Service Technologies. The Associate of Technical Study is a degree awarded for successful completion of an individually-planned technical education program designed to respond to a student s need for specialized technical education not currently available on a particular campus either through cooperative arrangements with public, private, or proprietary postsecondary institutions, vocational centers, or other educational enterprises, or through an intra-institutional, interdisciplinary combination of courses offered by the awarding institution. The Associate of Individualized Study is a degree awarded for the successful completion of an individually planned degree program designed by a student with the assistance of a designated faculty advisor, generally containing an area of concentration formed either by an interdisciplinary combination of courses offered by the awarding institution, or through credits awarded by the awarding institution for educational experiences judged by the institution to be of college level. 2

63 (C) General Standards for the Approval of Associate Degree Programs. (1) Full-time faculty members and administrative personnel should be provided in numbers which will assure: (a) (b) (c) (d) Familiarity and identification with the goals of the field of concentration. The continuity of the program. Continuing interchange of ideas and experience within the faculty. Adequate attention to the needs of individual students in the program. (2) A minimum of sixty percent of the curriculum generally should be taught by faculty members who devote full time to the teaching and administrative responsibilities of the two-year campus. (3) Persons holding top leadership responsibilities at the department level should hold either a master s degree, or a bachelor s degree with other advanced preparation and have experience in the appropriate field of concentration. (4) Faculty members whose assignments are primarily in the technical areas should evidence competency based upon: (a) (b) (c) Formal education appropriate to the specialization, usually including the bachelor s or master s degrees or their equivalent as demonstrated by expertise, licensure, or certification; and Practical experience other than teaching in the appropriate specialization, as demonstrated by full-time employment for approximately five years in the career area, or a related field; and Evidence of professional development in the field of concentration as demonstrated by activity in professional associations, consultative practice, participation in seminars, workshops, and formal course work, and individual reading and research. 3

64 (5) Faculty members whose assignments are primarily in the teaching of the general studies curriculum should generally hold a master s degree in the subject matter discipline, and should also show evidence of professional development as indicated in Section (C)(4)(c) of this rule. (6) For approval by the Ohio Board of Regents, associate degree programs must contain a minimum of ninety quarter credits or sixty semester credits and should not exceed a maximum of one hundred ten quarter credits or seventy-three semester credits, exclusive of physical education. Exceptions may be granted where licensing procedures require additional hours. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) The academic quarter should be of eleven weeks duration with not less than ten weeks devoted to instruction. The academic semester should be of sixteen weeks duration with no less than fifteen weeks devoted to instruction. Academic credit awarded for successful completion of courses should be expressed in conventional quarter or semester credit hours. Associate degree programs should not exceed seven quarters (four semesters) of full-time study. Institutions desiring to deviate from these standards, because of unique educational programs, should obtain the concurrence of the Ohio Board of Regents staff. (7) Procedures for seeking approval of the Ohio Board of Regents to initiate a new degree or degree program are contained in the Ohio Board of Regents Two-Year Campus Operating Manual. (D) Standards for Approval of the Associate of Arts and the Associate of Science Degrees. (1) These degrees are awarded for the satisfactory completion of a minimum of ninety quarter credit hours of course enrollment (or sixty semester 4

65 hours). For maximum transferability to four-year institutions, the ninety quarter (or sixty semster) credits should include as general education at least nine quarter (or six semester) credits in English composition and literature, fifteen quarter (or ten semester) credits in the humanities, fifteen quarter (or ten semester) credits in the social and behavioral sciences, and fifteen quarter (or ten semester) credits in the natural sciences (physical and biological) and/or mathematics. The Associate of Arts and the Associate of Science degrees may be authorized to be offered by community colleges, regional campuses of state universities, state community colleges, and by state universities offering a planned program leading to this degree for students who enroll in a unit of the university which serves the two-year mission. (E) Standards for Approval of the Associate of Applied Business and Associate of Applied Science Degrees. (1) Associate Degree Programs offered as technical education should provide as a minimum: Technical Studies (a) Forty-five quarter credits or thirty semester credits in courses clearly identifiable with the technical skills, proficiency, and knowledge required for career competency. Most courses classified as technical should include laboratory experience. Generally, technical courses should be distributed more or less evenly among the six or seven quarters (or four semesters) of the degree program. Non-technical Studies (b) Forty-two quarter credits or twenty-eight semester credits in nontechnical studies, including: (1) General Education requirements consisting of courses in written communication, oral communication, social and behavioral science, and art/humanities. These requirements may also include courses in the natural sciences and in 5

66 mathematics. (2) Courses basic to the technical field and closely related to the technical speciality. (2) To assure that the college s technical educational programs remain relevant to the needs of the community, each two-year campus will maintain an advisory committee for each technical program offered. (3) These degrees may be authorized to be offered by community colleges, regional campuses of state universities, technical colleges, and state community colleges in business, health, engineering and industrial, agricultural and natural resources, and public service technologies. In particular circumstances of community need where duplication of existing programs will not occur, these degrees may be authorized for main campuses of state universities. (F) Standards for Approval of the Associate of Technical Study Degree. (1) This degree is awarded for the satisfactory completion of a minimum of ninety quarter (or sixty semester) credit hours in an individually-planned technical education program, which contains an area of concentration formed either by: Type A: Type B: An intra-institutional, interdisciplinary, but coherent combination of courses drawn from two or more technical programs offered by the awarding institution, designed to serve an occupational objective; or by Credits awarded by the institution for courses completed or training received by a student at other postsecondary institutions, vocational centers, and/or other educational enterprises judged by the institution to be of college level. (2) Prior to completion of sixty quarter (or forty semester) credit hours, each degree candidate must complete an Associate of Technical Study application form outlining his or her intended area of concentration and designating course areas for further study to accommodate this plan. Plans submitted after sixty or more quarter (or forty semester) credit hours are completed must be approved by the Chief Instructional Officer. Each student s individual curriculum must meet the minimum requirements 6

67 of forty-five quarter (or thirty semester) credit hours in technical studies and forty-two quarter (or twenty-eight semester) credit hours in nontechnical studies. (3) Following approval of the application, each candidate will be required to complete no less than thirty quarter (or twenty semester) credit hours of course work under the supervision of the institution granting the degree. (4) A maximum of forty-five quarter (or thirty semester) credit hours can be recognized by the degree-granting institution for course work completed in other public, private, or proprietary postsecondary institutions, vocational centers, and schools conducted by business and industry, prior to the declaration of candidacy for this degree. (5) The degree awarded must contain the name of the student s area of concentration. (6) This degree may be authorized to be offered by universities, community colleges, university regional branches, technical colleges, state community colleges, and urban centers of state universities. In the communities having both a technical college and a university regional campus on the same campus, the Associate of Technical Study Degree may be authorized to be awarded by only the technical college. (G) Standards for Approval of the Associate of Individualized Study Degree. (1) This degree is awarded for the satisfactory completion of a minimum of ninety quarter (or sixty semester) credit hours in an individually-planned educational program. The curriculum is to be designed largely by the student with the assistance of a designated faculty advisor, and should contain an area of concentration which is formed by: (a) (b) An intra-institutional, interdisciplinary, but coherent combination of courses drawn from the curriculum of the awarding institution; or Up to sixty quarter (or forty semester) credit hours3 awarded by the institution for documentable educational experiences or courses completed at other postsecondary institutions, or educational enterprises judged by the institution to be of college level; or 7

68 (c) An unusual but academically coherent combination of technical and general studies courses. (2) Prior to the completion of sixty quarter (or forty semester) credit hours, each degree candidate must complete an Associate of Individualized Study application form outlining his or her intended area of concentration and designating course areas for further study to culminate this plan. Plans submitted after sixty or more more quarter (or forty semester) credit hours are completed must be approved by the Chief Instructional Officer. This requirement should provide assurance that students are not simply avoiding required courses. (3) Following approval of the application, each candidate will be required to complete a minimum of thirty quarter (or twenty semester) credit hours of course work under the supervision of the institution granting the degree. (4) This degree may be authorized to be offered by universities, community colleges, university regional campuses, technical colleges, state community colleges, and urban centers of state universities. In the communities having both a technical college and a university regional campus on the same campus, the Associate of Individualized Study Degree must be offered cooperatively. (H) Standards for Approval of One-Plus-One Technical Programs The Ohio Board of Regents accepts the premise that because of limited employment opportunities in some regions and the high cost of technical laboratories, not all technical programs can be delivered on every two-year campus. Some students desiring specialized technical programs will have to attend a campus away from their home area. Some two-year campuses, through cooperative planning, have developed a one-plus-one program wherein the first year of a two-year technical degree is offered by several campuses with students transferring to other two-year campuses at the end of the first year. (1) The first half of a one-plus-one sequence should contain not less than forty-five quarter (or thirty semester) and not more than fifty-five quarter (or thirty-seven semester) credit hours, and generally refers to a program which a full-time student can complete in one year. Part-time students will spend a longer period of time completing these academic requirements. 8

69 (2) Technical courses should compromise approximately fifty percent of the first year curriculum. (3) The first year of the program should provide students with a specific employment possibility. (4) One-plus-one programs will be approved only for a group of campuses geographically related which have made arrangements guaranteeing that one of these colleges will admit students at the second year level with no loss of credit for courses completed successfully the first year.

70 Appendix B: Subject Code Table Publication Date: July 31, 1999 Subject Codes are designed to reflect the content of individual courses. The Subject Code Table was adapted from the taxonomy developed by the National Center for Education Statistics in its 1990 publication of the CLASSIFICATION OF INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS (CIP Codes). The Subject Code Table differs from the CIP Codes in two basic ways. First, the Subject Code Table is used to describe courses not programs. Second, the Subject Code Table does not contain every CIP code; codes not considered valid for courses offered for degree credit or in support of degree credit have been omitted from the Subject Code Table. The following list contains the only Subject Codes which are valid for HEI reporting. Referencing the 1990 CIP Code manual is recommended only for descriptions of valid Subject Codes and not for code selection AGRICULTURAL BUSI. AND MGMT AGRICULTURAL BUS/AGRIBUS.
